A Charles Dickens Christmas: A Christmas Carol; The Chimes; The Cricket on the Hearth; The Battle of Life; The Haunted Man
Charles Dickens
In these five novellas, written specifically for Christmas, Dickens combines his concern for social ills with the myths and memories of childhood and traditional seasonal lore.
A Christmas Carol, the first of the selection, has become a touchstone of English festive fiction and an enduring favourite internationally. Repeatedly adapted, parodied, staged and filmed, this richly influential tale is powerfully vivid and moving.
The other stories, The Chimes, The Cricket on the Hearth, The Battle of Life and The Haunted Man, blend whimsy, sentiment, comedy, satire, the didactic and the fantastic, developing the themes of joy, giving, and individual and social regeneration.
